History: The planet Rache was first charted by a Pakled ship
some 210 years ago. The residents at that time, an
isolationist race known as the Kau'ri, were engaged
in a massive civil war which would result in their
complete self-destruction fifty years later via a
massive mutual bio/thermonuclear weapons exchange.
Rache was listed as uninhabitable, and extremely
dangerous; it would not be visited again for over a
century. When a science vessel was dispatched to
reexamine the planet, it was found to have been the
subject of massive terraforming by unknown parties;
a research station was placed on the planet for the
dual purposes of finding out exactly what happened,
and examining the giant cosmic region known only as
Gayle's Ruins (an area of intense cosmic activity,
similar to the Badlands).
Economy: Latinum-based. Even though it is officially a UFP
colony, there is very little actual contact with the
Federation.
Tech Level: Modern
Culture: Typical isolated colonial/scientific mixture.
Notes: Miaris Station, the largest settlement on Rache, was
built on the northernmost peninsula of the planet's
only continent. Christiane Settlement was built on
one of the islands in the southern hemisphere fifteen
years ago, by a team of independent researchers. The
entire planet is in a completely isolated region of
space, thanks to Gayle's Ruins, but maintains contact
with the Federation via subspace and occasional duty
rotations/supply shipments from DS12.
Miaris Station's current administrator is Captain
Jeannette Fairbourne.
